Funding Source:  Telligen Community Initiative (TCI)

Deadlines & Geographic Focus:  2021 Cycle 1:  2/28/2022 for Oklahoma or Colorado-based applications; 2022 Cycle 2:  6/13/2022 for Iowa or Illinois-based applications (grant application portal submission in a one-step application)

Overview:  Grants of up to $50,000 to Illinois, Iowa, Colorado, and Oklahoma nonprofits, schools, and agencies for programs that support creative ways to bring innovation and equity to the health sector and recruiting and generating pathways to a high-quality health care workforce. Programs can also emphasize novel approaches to positively address the social determinants of health. Review the 2022 RFP for preferred priority-based project themes.

Funding focus areas:
Social Determinants of Health / Health Equity:  The social determinants of health are the conditions in which people are born, grow, live work and age. The social determinants of health can be most responsible for resulting health inequities. TCI believes in advancing health equity and achieving this requires novel approaches to positively address the social determinants of health. Catalytic funding is needed to foster new approaches to these upstream issues.

Healthcare Workforce Development:  TCI provides resources in this funding priority to help educate, recruit, and retain a diverse, high-quality workforce that is geographically distributed and more accessible to vulnerable populations and communities.

Estimated Size of Grant:  Up to $50,000 per project request maximum.  TCI funded 44 awards in 2021 with an average award size of $44,570 per grant award.  No firm matching funds requirement (though demonstrated match is always welcome and helpful from a sustainability standpoint).

Funding Period:  All current TCI grants are for periods of one year.  Cycle 1 awardees (OK or CO) begin on June 1, 2022.  Cycle 2 awardees (IA or IL) begin on November 1, 2022.

Eligibility:  To request a grant, your organization must be a recognized as a federally tax-exempt section 501(c)(3) charitable organization, an accredited school, or a public/governmental agency located in (or doing work within) the states of Illinois, Iowa. Colorado, or Oklahoma. Note: a public agency is an organization established and primarily funded by a unit of government. Examples could include a public school, public library, local public health department or state governmental agency. Note that TCI does not fund organizations with a pending 501(c)(3) status.
